Sikhye (Sweet Rice Punch)
One serving has 147 kcal and 1 g protein. Ready in 150 minutes.
- Preparation: 130 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (260 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
Ingredients
- 15 g Rice, white, short-grain
- 220 g Water
- 20 g Sugar
- 3 g Ginger, fresh
- 2 g Pine nuts
Method
- Cook the rice with a little water until just tender, then rinse briefly and set a spoonful of the whole grains aside to float in the finished drink.
- Traditional sikhye sweetens and thins the rice with malted barley powder steeped in warm water over several hours; since that isn't available here, this quick version sweetens it directly with sugar instead.
- Bring the water, sugar and sliced ginger to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, then remove the ginger.
- Stir the cooked rice into the sweet ginger water and simmer for 2-3 minutes more.
- Let it cool, then chill for at least 2 hours until very cold.
- Serve cold in a cup or bowl with a few grains of rice floating on top and the pine nuts scattered over.
